MacKinnon Five-Bet Shoves

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
DJ MacKinnon
DJ MacKinnon

After an under-the-gun open and a call, DJ MacKinnon announced 4,000 on the button. The small blind kicked it up again to 12,000 and action folded back to MacKinnon. He said he was all in, cutting out a stack that appeared to be 43,600. His opponent grumbled something we didn't catch and folded.

Mukul Pahuja's Aggression Wins

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

On a {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, a middle-position player bet 2,200 and a player on the button called. Small blind Mukul Pahuja woke up with a raise to 8,000, but everyone stuck around for the {4-Spades} turn. Pahuja fired again for 25,000, and he earned one immediate fold and one slower fold.

MacKinnon Gets There

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante
DJ MacKinnon
DJ MacKinnon

On a flop of {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, action went nuts at Table 38 with what looked to be a bet and a DJ MacKinnon shove on the button, followed by a shove out of the big blind for about 15,500. The bettor mucked and MacKinnon showed {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a massive draw and two overs. One of them was live as his opponent had {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and the {8-Diamonds} turn and {a-Diamonds} river brought in MacKinnon's outs twice.

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Vinny Pahuja
Vinny Pahuja

Three players saw a {4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop for what looked like 4,200 apiece. A player in the blinds checked and a player in early position bet 2,500. Vinny Pahuja peeled on the button and the third player mucked. On the {k-Spades} turn, Pahuja won the pot with a bet of 8,400.

"That's not the turn card I wanted," Pahuja's opponent said with a smile.
